TIMELY THOUGHTS.

The Spirit of Reckless Extravaganza Pre-
vailin: Throughout the Country.
W. are u Nation of spendthrifts. We
doubt whether there was ever q period
in the history Of the American people
in which extravaganza prevailed so
universally and to such a frightful de-
gree as 1t docs at the present time.
The high prices which still rule in
every department of trade and com-
MERGE, instead Of leading to the cur
tailmcnt in the use of superluitics,
seem rather TO impel the masses for
ward in II more determined chase after
the luxuries Of life. Money is
plenty; labor, whether Of
the hands or brain. is in
good demand NJ liberal wages. and the
mean of physical enjoyment arc album

more than they did twenty years agoP
This fact only seems to sharpen the de-
sire to obtain such Injuries. and make
the absence of them a cruel hardship,
which few persons can endure with the
least degree Of patience. Silks and
satins are now worn by parties who,
but a little time ago. were content
to appear in caiicocs and other plain
goods. Comfortable cottages are cx-
changed for msrc pretcntious DWELL
ings; modest mclodeons arc uncerc-
m%oniously expelled from the family
circle TO make room for elegant and
costly pianos; clothes only half-worn,
but u trifle questionable. are sent to
the rag-man. and garments Of finer
texture and q modern style arc pur-
chased Mt f~ea'fuily high prices; thea
ters. shows, museums. concerts and all
descriptions Of amusement arc patron-
lied to an extent, that would lead one
to imagine that people generally had
more money than thoy could get rid Of
through the ordinary channels of cx-
penditure.
In all departments Of society this
spirit Of extravaganza. this reckless
scattering Of money, prevails. and
seems TO be daily on the increase. The
masses Of the people arc bent on grasp
ing all attainailc c Of temporary
enjoyment, regardless Of present cost
and future results.
When, where and how this e~xtrava-
gance Is to cease It would he difficult
to determ inc. But sooner or later the
bubble must explode. and those who
now dance mcrrily beyond their in.
comes will find the Gddler's bills too
big for settlement. - R&ston budget.

What fun l anticipated for the NOR.

cited l could not sleep. I knew every
hour that passed; counted every stroke

l ate breakfast at six that morning,
and long before the east began to
'kindle," l was out in search Of rab-
bit tracks. The snow had ceased fall
ing sometime during the night, after it
had covered the ground to q depth of
six or eight inches. The snow was
shining brightly and | set out for the
"creek bottom" which was. as |
conjectured, literally covered with
| rabbit tracks. This "bottom' was
some distance from the house, and,
carrying my heavy gun and trudging
through the deep snow had the effect
of fatiguing me greatly, by the time l
arrived there.
Well, to make a long story short. !
found no tracks in the ''bottom, "but, not
becoming discouraged, sought another
field of operation with like result, and
then another, thus walking through
the snow all that day, going without
my dinner and catching no rabbits.
As was going home that evening,
met my father, who was carrying half
a dozen rabbits. and when he told me no
had killed them with his zane my pride
fell to the lowest pitch. That evening
l was wretched, and discouraged. and
tired beyond description. Do any Of

ed some h~ousckcepcrs who do not seem
to appreciate this simple and sensible
rule. 1t is never suitable that a room
should be untiNy. NcatnesS is n charm
in itself; not always sufficient. but
quite indispensable.
A young lady recently left home for
the first time TO pursue her profession.
and established herself in two rooms in
Il pretty old New England town. She
had the apartments beautifully re-
papcred and painted to suit her artistic
theories; she adorned the rooms with
drapcry and pictures, and filled them
with bric-a-brac. She told her friends
with pride how much she enjoyed her
independent housekeeping, and how
careful and exact she was about it. She
never burned any thing IN her hearth
but driftwood, which she obtained
from a special dealer, because of the
poetic associations connected with it,
and because the rusted nails and the
paint caused it to burn with a flame of
singular brilliancy and changing color.
Every Monday she filled a certain vase
with flowers, and every morning she
busted her knick-knacks carefully with
an old silk handkerchief. The peculiar
smile with which her friends listened
to these harmless boasts puzzled her.
To be sure, they always admired her
little domain when they called, and
their praise was beyond suspicion.
But she felt that they cherished y men-
tai reserve about something; and she
was right. Their Animation was sim

arrangements, never brought her com

common impulse to get ever with him
foy the indignities he had hcapcd upon
them singly, started in a body for Jack.
At first he did not notice them, but
when he did. instead of coming to me
for protection. he. turned and struck
out for home in the usual manner, with
his tail between his legs and with the
usual accompaniment of bowls. How
he did run! He was running this time
for his life, and he knew it He looked
like u tiny yellow speck as he scam

hounds keeping well together. gained
on him at every jump. Twice l
thought they had him, and
half turned away my head; but, no! he
doubled on them and fairly flew in an
other direction. The hounds could not
turn as quickly ms he could, and fell
over one another in their attempts to
do so. As Jack reached the terrace in
